Getting Vitamin D into infants Many infants reject vitamin D drops, even when put on nipple
I speculate that the rejection is due to one or more of: additives, taste, and oils.
Infants have a hard time digesting oils, 19991997 and palm oils W.A. Price123Coconut oil, such as in D-Drops, is digested by infants. 1, 23Bio-Tech Pharmacal Vitamin D has NO additves, taste, oilOne capsule of 50,000 Bio-Tech Pharmacal Vitamin D could be stirred into monthly formula
this would result in ~1,600 IUs per day for infant, and higher dose with weight/age/formula consumption

Early vitamin D deficiency detection can improve the health of children.

Vitamin D screening recommendations are based on risk factors.

No consensus on vitamin D deficiency screening in children and adolescents exists.

Problem: No consensus on vitamin D deficiency (VDD) screening in children and adolescents exists. Early VDD detection can improve the health of children. VDD can cause bone mineralization diseases, such as rickets in children. The purpose of this review is to determine existing VDD screening recommendations or clinical practice guidelines in children and adolescents.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion criteria were VDD screening ‘guideline’, ‘clinical practice guideline’, and ‘recommendations’ for children and adolescents in English, published 2001–2018.

Results: Eight current guidelines addressed VDD screening recommendations with the common recommendation results endorsing screening only for VDD in at-risk children and adolescents.

Conclusions: There is insufficient evidence for pediatric healthcare providers to recommend which VDD risk factors should be utilized for screening in children and adolescents.

Implications: Further studies should focus on developing a validated VDD screening tool for children and adolescents based on risk factors.
